Good morning, 'sleuthers. After I signed out here yesterday, I remained tuned in to CNN for the rest of the night. Needless to say, the manhunt was riveting, and I'm glad that it came to a successful conclusion without further harm to anyone. There will be much more to come as the investigation unfolds, and we begin to learn about these two young men, their families, their connections locally and abroad, and why they planted explosives near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families whose loved ones were killed or injured in the blast. Justice will come in due time.

Another question to ponder, I understand that they could have gotten materials to make bombs on their own,but where did they get guns? Did they have permits or were they obtained illegally and if so,from who? That will be an angle LE has to pursue. What are the gun laws in Mass. like? Do they do background checks. I wonder if the fact that Terrorist #1 was investigated by FBI would have shown up?

19 year old was a US citizen with a clean record. Therefore, presumably could buy all the guns he wanted. Terrorist suspect #1 was investigated by FBI but they decided he was clean, so, even if that showed up, what difference would it make?

I think illegally obtained... perhaps why the uncle thinks they are a part of something bigger?
The 19 yo was a citizen the 26 year old was not...

Miller reports a Watertown man who had been observing the lockdown came out for the first time late Friday and saw a tear in the tarp that covers his boat. He climbed up and looked inside. What he said in a later 911 call was "there's a bloody mess in there."

Three Boston police officers responded and they climbed up and looked in there and they said they saw somebody moving. They backed away and called for tactical teams.

They said something popped up out of the tear in the tarp and opened fire and they returned fire. The incident commander then called for a ceasefire so they could set up a perimeter.
